Having announced their long-awaited return last month, Spanish duo Hinds have today released the third single from their eagerly anticipated fourth album, VIVA HINDS (out September 6th via Lucky Number).
New track “En Forma,” the band's first song sung entirely in Spanish, follows previous releases “Coffee” and “Boom Boom Back” and finds the band addressing the unrealistic standards society places on women and perpetuated by social media.
Vocalist and guitarist Carlotta Kosials spoke about the song's inspiration: “I turned 30 the same week that I broke up with my boyfriend. I was finally able to write this song after months of feeling completely devastated, stuck and miserable. I just wanted to get better, but I just couldn't. I just couldn't stand the eternal race to be happier, better, cleaner, healthier.”
“When I talk to my girlfriends, we can chat about war, philosophy, love and clothes in the same afternoon,” singer/guitarist Ana Perrote continues. “With this song, I tried to reflect the chaos and breadth of being a young woman these days: how hard it is to juggle the news, politics, your body, relationships and laundry.”

In addition, Hinds has announced that following a North American tour this fall, he will tour the UK and Europe with “VIVA HINDS” early next year. Tickets for the 2025 show will go on sale next Wednesday, June 19th at 10am BST. See below for details.
